So basically to build the _srv.o file you first need to build the .o?
Since both files need to be built anyway, I don't think this is a
problem.

There's the slight disadvantage that if you say "make -j" you only get
21 concurrent gcc processes instead of 40-some, but I doubt this is a
problem in practice, either.
